Introducing New 'Melrose Place' Characters

8 July 2009 11:17 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

Some of the characters involved in the refurbished version of "Melrose Place" are introduced individually via short promos. This bunch of people takes over from the '90s characters except for Sidney Andrews and Michael Mancini who are original characters played by the same actors, Laura Leighton and Thomas Calabro respectively.

Lauren (Stephanie Jacobsen) has the dream of being a doctor and she works in the same profession as Dr. Michael Mancini. Lauren wants to enter medical school but she has little money, so she 'calls' to men. David (Shaun Sipos) is the son of Michael who loves women. Sydney takes an interest in him, so does Ella.

Ella (Katie Cassidy) hates monogamy and she goes both ways, boys and girls. Auggie (Colin Egglesfield) has the passion for cooking and Violet (Ashlee Simpson) thinks he's hot.

2 July 2009 12:01 AM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Just a little tidbit out of the Elm Street reboot this morning, as producer Brad Fuller (Friday The 13th) has revealed that "freddy is wrapped."

The news trickled out via Fuller's Twitter page, where he's been dropping tiny details throughout the now two-month production. What that means is that Jackie Earle Haley has completed his portion of the filming, so all the would-be paparazzi hoping to spy a glimpse of the new Freddy Krueger can put the cameras away.

What's new on Elm Street?

30 June 2009 8:45 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been bombarded with "set photos" from the Platinum Dunes production of A Nightmare On Elm Street. Currently filming in and around Chicago, Illinois and across the border in Gary, Indiana (yes, the boyhood home of Michael Jackson), the production has been happening under the watchful eyes of curious onlookers, would-be paparazzi, and horror fiends alike.

While the "official" set visits have been occurring over the past few weeks and most of that coverage is currently "embargoed", the John Q. Public coverage keeps on coming.

On Monday, the crew of the Nightmare reboot returned to Gary yet again to film a dream sequence on Taylor Street. A few photos of the dilapidated housing were sent in last week (see them here) as maintenance crews prepped the block for filming. With filming complete in Gary (see the Post-Tribune's latest set report),  a few more photos have surfaced,

The Weinsteins Remaking ‘An American Werewolf In London?’

29 June 2009 11:30 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

Sigh…

The news of remakes of classic horror movies just keeps on coming with word that Dimension Films (The Weinstein Company’s genre film division) have acquired the rights to remake An American Werewolf in London.

Screen Rant reported last June that original American Werewolf director, John Landis, said that Hollywood has been wanting to remake his movie for ages, but the fact that he owned the rights were stopping them. Well, it appears Landis has sadly buckled and sold those rights, which will eventually deliver us a remake of his horror masterpiece.

 

Bloody Disgusting has nabbed the exclusive that Dimension has acquired the remake rights to An American Werewolf in London - Bd was also the site that reported on the rumblings of Aawil remake over a year ago. Some of you out there may remember the horrible sequel to Landis’ movie that was released in 1997, entitled An American

Rooney Mara signed for Elm Street II?

24 June 2009 7:17 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

We spoke too soon on the lack of updates from the Chicago set of A Nightmare On Elm Street earlier today.

Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that actress Rooney Mara (Urban Legends: Bloody Mary) has already signed on for Two films as Nancy Thompson, the role made famous by Heather Langenkamp.

Since a sequel to the New Line remake is nearly certain, you can expect Freddy to haunt Nancy's Nightmares at least one more time. Click here for the full article.

A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) will continue lensing in the Chicago area into July, and is set for an April 2010 release.

Krueger Takes His Coffee With Cream

18 June 2009 | From shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news

Jackie Earle Haley, the man who knocked us out with his take on Rorschach in Watchmen , is donning the infamous sweater, hat and glove of Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street . Big shoes to fill, no doubt. In between stalking cast members Rooney Mara, Kyle Gallner, Thomas Dekker and Katie Cassidy, he's hitting Twitter , talking about his time in Chicago (where the film is lensing). Yesterday, he dropped this nugget of a photo that we found amusing. Sure, it's a cup of coffee, but look to the right... The production is very secretive about the look of Krueger, Haley goes to and from the makeup trailer to the set with a bag over his head, so I wouldn't expect much more in terms of "revealing" photos.

Craven: 'I won't see 'Elm Street' remake'

14 June 2009 10:55 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news

Wes Craven has claimed that he won't see the remake of his classic horror film A Nightmare On Elm Street. Speaking to Digital Spy, the filmmaker said that the experience of watching the revised version "might be too painful. I might just pretend it's not there". Craven has no creative input in Samuel Bayer's film, starring Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Kyle Gallner and Katie Cassidy, after losing ownership of the 1984 horror when he sold the screenplay. "Nobody's called me or anything - I don't know what the script's like, I don't know who's in it," Craven said. "Frankly, that's painful. It was one of my better ideas and (more)

A Nightmare On Elm Street - Craven Speaks on the Remake!

9 June 2009 6:23 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Confirming the buzz that's surrounded the project for the past few months, Wes Craven's not very happy about the currently-filming remake/reboot of his 1984 classic, A Nightmare On Elm Street.

Unlike the recent remake of his 1972 film, The Last House On The Left (which had Craven's full blessing), 'Nightmare is a completely different story. IGN, who recently spoke with Craven, states that he feels genuinely "hurt" by what's happened.

Craven, who gave up all rights to Nightmare when he initially made the deal, says "I don't even know who's doing it and I'm not interested. It's actually really painful to think about it. It's the film of mine that I probably love the most, and which made the most money. The script went around Hollywood for three years and nobody touched it and I went through all my life savings and everything else to pay for it, so I

HitFix Interview: 'Harper's Island's' deceased Black Sheep speaks

9 June 2009 9:37 AM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

Oh brother. Even in the anything-can-happen world of CBS' "Harper's Island," Henry (Chris Gorham) and Trish (Katie Cassidy) still seem pretty safe, thought their nuptials may be postponed indefinitely. But just because "Harper's Island" doesn't seem quite ready to kill off its biggest stars doesn't mean that the mystery serial is opposed to making them suffer, emotionally. Trish has now spent the past three episodes puffy-eyed and mourning for her late father, bastard though he was. Similarly, while Henry had little trouble believing that his disturbed brother Jd might have been a serial killer, he's still going to be a little...

Exclusive: Spoiler-filled set report from A Nightmare On Elm Street!

5 June 2009 8:42 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Time for a late-night update with an Extremely spoiler-filled report straight from the set of New Line's A Nightmare On Elm Street remake, currently shooting in Illinois.

It's been quiet in the world of Elm Street lately, and sources tell Fango that the production is not happy with the amount of pictures and reports that were sneaking out over the past few weeks. That said, we don't make the news, but we'll certainly report it.

Filming took place this week in north suburban Lake Forest, known to many as one of the most affluent areas of Illinois, home to celebrities, CEO's, and a ton of professional athletes. The bulk of the filming took place in a large home off of Deerpath Road, which one of our sources (who have both asked to remain nameless) reports to be one of the first major kill scenes in the movie.

Fox’s ‘Human Target’ - Trailer And Discussion

2 June 2009 7:53 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

Fox’s newest show, Human Target, is about a body guard named Christopher Chance who privately contracts out to clients to guard them from dangerous threats. He’s hired when normal measures are no longer effective.

Now Fox has taken the franchise a step further and has ordered some episodes for the 2009 / 2010 season.

In Fox’s version, Chance assumes nondescript positions that keeps him close to his client.
